User Reviews

Users widely praise The Athletic for high-quality, in-depth sports journalism and solid soccer/insider content, with coverage including recent results. However, repeated complaints center on notification overload, persistent ads—even with a subscription—, frequent crashes and article-loading errors, and a rough mobile UI/UX that hampers navigation and discussion features.

Pros

High-quality, in-depth journalism and sports coverage.
Strong insider content and soccer coverage.
Coverage includes recent results alongside in-depth articles.
Generally well-regarded app with reliable performance when functioning.
Subscription is seen as offering good value given journalism quality.

Cons

Notification overload and poor control over alerts (March Madness spam, settings not working).
Ads and podcast advertising persist despite subscription.
Frequent stability and loading issues (crashes, browser errors) affecting reading articles.
Poor mobile UI/UX and navigation (terrible interface, hard to find replies, no history).

Recent reviews

Gives me the detailed info on my teams daily that my local paper no longer does on a timely basis.

De*****, 2026-08-04

Have been a subscriber for years and am a daily user/reader. Two recommendations that I think would massively improve the user experience: First, subscribers should be able to filter to ONLY see content that has been selected as an interest. For example, if I have no interest in tennis or cycling, ideally I should not ever have to scroll through stories from these sports in my feed. Next would be to have an audio function so I could listen to stories while driving in my car.
